The first suggestion just picked this off the proposed music event name.
 Here is why I consider \fake or \detached better:

when I see \broken\< or \broken\!, this does not really help me figure
out where to use them.  \broken\! actually looks, uh, broken.  How do
you break an end spanner?

However, \fake\< or \fake\! immediately make clear that we are talking
about something still being used in the function of a starting and
ending spanner, respectively.  I like it somewhat better than \detached,
but of course the latter is a bit more dignified.  It's also longer.
